Once the strips are all sewn and stable, I can come back and FMQ the individual strips. The whole quilt is done pretty quickly! This can be done in a 'log cabin' center-out design too.
I am going to try this on quilt strips hanging in my closet. I like to use fusible batting but gets daunting on a whole quilt. Your method sounds very workable.
